NEETChemistrySolutions
How does the solubility of a solid in a liquid change with temperature if the dissolution process is endothermic?
Options
- ASolubility increases with temperature.
- BSolubility decreases with temperature.
- CSolubility remains constant with temperature.
- DSolubility follows a random pattern with temperature.
Correct answer
A. Solubility increases with temperature.
Step-by-step solution
The paragraph states that if the dissolution process is endothermic (Δsol H > 0), solubility should increase with a rise in temperature, and this trend is observed experimentally.
